Navigation:  Sample Session > Creating a Project File

Here's the Create NEW Project File dialog box with the new filename entered. NO FILE EXTENSION is necessary....the program will append it. When the dialog appears as it does below, just click [Save] and the file will be created.

 

 

When a new Project File is created, the new Project File is immediately opened and displayed in the Project Manager window. You can see in the screen image below that the new Project File looks rather plain and simple.

 

 

 

Notice that the ONLY items appearing in the calculation list are the GENERAL Division, the LOADS & FORCES Divisions, and a "starter" Calculations Division.

 

You can create as many Divisions as you like. They serve as a way to organize your calculations into logical groups for your convenience .

 

All newly created Project Files will contain these Divisions by default.  The "GENERAL" Division and the "LOADS & FORCES" Divisions cannot be renamed or deleted, and they serve specific purposes, which we will see shortly.  But the "Calculations" Division is just created for convenience.  It can be renamed, deleted, copied, etc.

 

Before we add any calculations to this Project File, the next step will be to enter some general information about the project itself.
